*** Apologies for cross-posting*** Do not forget to book your place for the following ISKO UK afternoon event: "SEEING IS BELIEVING: NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE" DATE: Wednesday 9 June 2010, 13.30-19.00 VENUE: University College London FEE: £ 20 (ISKO members and students FREE) BOOKING: <http://www.iskouk.org/cultural_heritage_jun2010.htm> Access to cultural heritage collections and information is a hot topic with the public and even with some politicians. Information professionals in museums, galleries and libraries, including managers of virtual collections on the Internet, now have the opportunity (as well as the obligation) to harness technology and bring our cultural assets to the people. Even more, we can actively engage the public in tagging and otherwise participating in curation! David Arnold, *Andy Hudson-Smith, Melissa Terras and **Fiona Romeo will talk about *current work with texts, archives, objects and museum collections, from both a theoretical and an implementation standpoint, and to look at a variety of approaches to the material including Web 2.0 solutions. This ISKO UK open meeting is organized in cooperation with the UCL Department for Information Studies. To read more about the programme and to book your place go to the event page <http://www.iskouk.org/cultural_heritage_jun2010.htm> We look forward to seeing you on 9 June! === Aida Slavic, Hon.
